Unemployment central to Iran election

The choice for Iran’s presidential election on May 19 comes down to four men, two of whom are the frontrunners.

 

Current President Hassan Rouhani – of the Reformists bloc – is facing off against Ebrahim Raisi – a Principalist.

 

Unemployment in Iran stands at about 13 percent, while nearly a third of young people have no job – and that has become a focal point in the election.
